It is tone deaf. But he's right.

OP, trust us when we say that crying to your wife will cause more harm.

Take as much money in as short of period of time as possible (after acquisition) then eject ASAP and only THEN deal with your issues.

If you eject now, you will be broke, wifeless and still fucked in the head.

May as well have a few 100k (or more) in the bank and be still fucked up than being broke and fucked up.
